.

The base can not be longer than 12 cm, and its length must be even number.

so the possibilities for the base length are 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2.



It gives the following list


    base    lateral side


      12         8

      10         9

       8        10

       6        11

       4        12

       2        13



So, all possible cases are listed.

Solved.
